Rather than try and procure the Melrose linen squares, I decided to stitch it on the 28 Ct Graziano White Milan Linen, which was actually earmarked for another project I decided not to do. I wanted a really summery feel to the piece, however, this linen is driving me straight up a tree. This piece is the wonkiest slubbiest piece of linen I have ever had the misfortune of stitching on. And in addition to that, it also obtain rub marks from the Q-Snaps less than three hours after I initially began the project. Oh, *YAY*. As a result, I took some scrap fabric that I had left over and buffered the snaps on the frame with them. I wouldn't mind so much, but the bloody piece of fabric cost me 10.50 back in the day, and it's really not that large of a piece. >:(
Oy, Oy, Oy! Oy, I say!
At any rate, here is my update:
Design: Leaflet #115, Cherries
Designer: Judy Whitman of JBW Designs
Fibers: DMC 523, 935, 963, 3363, 3685, and 3688
Fabric: 28 Ct Graziano White Milan Linen
I am not sure what I am going to do about the empty spaces where the woven bars would have been, but I'll cross that stitch when I come to it, eh? ;). I have 'Summer Side' all kitted up and ready to go for SanMan Sunday. Hopefully, I will get a chance to sit and work on it a bit.
Well, I best be off. I have chores that need doing and this afternoon, I have 'The Duchess' and 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age' queued up for my viewing pleasure. I have some Orville Redenbacher's Kettle Korn that I will be noshing vigorously during my cinematic afternoon. :P
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
